Elisity announces acquisition by IonQ to advance Zero Trust for the quantum era

By ElisityOctober 12, 2026

AI Summary

IonQ acquired Elisity to integrate Zero Trust security into its quantum computing platform to prepare for post-quantum cryptographic requirements.

IonQ has announced the acquisition of Elisity, a move intended to bolster its vertically integrated quantum platform. By incorporating Elisity’s unified policy fabric, IonQ aims to provide enhanced security solutions that address the risks posed by the impending 'Q-Day.'

The integration will focus on extending Elisity’s IdentityGraph with cryptographic inventory and risk information. This will allow customers to better manage access policies as they transition their cryptographic protections to be quantum-resistant.

This acquisition highlights IonQ's strategy to expand beyond pure computing into networking and security. The combined expertise will support industries such as life sciences in protecting essential connections while navigating the transition to a quantum-ready infrastructure.
